It may be that nobody wants to, but apparently most people are willing to.
Bug reports go to the mailing list first in case they are really
misunderstandings, which is in fact the case much of the time. Having
absolutely everything go to the bug tracker would simply clutter the tracker
and make it useless.
This is not an unusual practice for a large-scale open source project.
That said, the change you propose probably could have gone into the tracker as
a patch. We don't have any mechanism to prevent you from doing so. You just
have to use your best judgement.
